I regularly received shapefiles from helicopter flights over wildfires where the crew was mapping the perimeter of the fire. Many times these polygon shapefiles have donut holes/slivers and I have a need to remove them as part of my workflow.

I wonder if anyone might have some thoughts on how best to tackle this problem?

Have you tried the SliverRemover or the geometry validator with repair set to yes, for self intersections in 2D
